I'm curious what you've looked at b/c there is a lot of info
available. When I google 'debian networking' I get a bunch of (what
looks to be) good stuff.
As far as users having access to there home dirs from any machine, why
not have them ssh into the server, where their home dirs are located.
You can set up ssh to forward X packets (man ssh) and they can run a
desktop on their local machine, but through the server.
Just a thought . . .
